What better way to celebrate Dapper Day than to take a stroll with
the baby carriage and find Mary Poppins strolling down the street.
Because it was also Mickey Mouse’s birthday, there were several
characters walking around, greeting guests and posing for photos.
We always have lots of friends we see on Dapper Days. And when
we have a Dapper Day banner with us, we get lots of volunteers to
show the sign.
Lawrence Stoen in the photo at the right is one of the long-term
Dapper gentlemen. He always dresses wonderfully and makes
bowties to match the theme.
So many of our friends and acquaintances have a special ability to
set up the best poses! Doozer LaFae is one of thos people. She is
always animated and looking like she does this for a living.
Fiona Bagwan is another one of those who is natural with making
cute poses. Her outfits and hats are wonderful and her poses are
just the cutest.
When we found out that Erin was expecting, we told her we
wanted to bring the baby carriage and get some photos
with Aiden. He was just the right age and size to pose with
the carriage. It was quite warm by that time, so we only got
a few good pictures with him, but he is a darling baby and
will be a fun part of our group for years to come.
Katie is Aiden’s big sister, and as proud as she can be of him. She is
often mistaken as his mother rather than his sister, but she just
takes it in stride. She is in her first year of college. Their brother
also loves Aiden and helps the family take good care of him.
Dapper ladies and gentlemen abound on Dapper Day weekend.
Here is just a sampling of the fancy people from the Magic
Kingdom on Saturday.
Chip showed up for several hours. looking as wonderful as
ever.
Our neighbor boys, Nathan and Ean, showed up for a short
time, but chose not to dress dapper this time.
Vanessa had joined us the evening before for a short time,
and we have enjoyed catching up with her again.
Stacy was without her son Robbie on this day because he had a
singing engagement, but he joined her the next day for the fun.
We always love seeing the Main Street characters at the Magic
Kingdom. And they appreciate all of the outfits and the things
that we wear every year. This lady is one of our favorites.
Here are some more photos of Xavier pushing the baby carriage.
He was absolutely fascinated with it. Isn’t he just the sweetest
little dapper gentleman?
Yvette and her escort for the day. So classy in their dapper
clothing. She dresses just as nicely in her every day life.
Our Susan is one of the mainstays in our group. Not only does
she dress impeccably, and always looking perfect, but she is an
amazing photographer, too. She has a real keen eye for a great
photograph, and usually we don’t even realize she is carrying a
camera.
Marina had a wild idea that she would have everyone sign her
dress material and then she would take it home in the evening
and sew it together and wear it the next day. Joanie thought
she was crazy, but she did it. Photos later of how well it turned
out. If we signed the dress, we got a button saying that we did.
Fiona Bagwan is another one of those who is natural with
making cute poses. Her outfits and hats are wonderful and
her poses are just the cutest.
